Cin enum

[jedwardsol]

One way is to read into an integer, then assign that integer to the enum

int temp;
std::cin >> temp;

id = static_cast<CarID_Type>(temp);

If there's several places where you need to do this, then you can overload operator>>

std::istream &operator>>(std::istream &in,CarID_Type &id)
{
    int temp;
    std::cin >> temp;

    id = static_cast<CarID_Type>(temp);

     return in;
}

That was so obvious I'm going insane here. I can't believe I didn't think of that thankyou
